Scotch Reform To Ld Grenville

Resolution 8th "That wherever in the inferior Courts
"Proofs shall have been allowed, it shall be in the option of
"either party to apply to the Court of Sessions, in order that
"the Issue may be tried before by a Jury, if the Court
" shall so think fit: But if neither party apply for the trial
"by Jury, the cause may be decided by the inferior Court,
"according to the forms now in use, and afterwards in
"review by the Court of Sessions by Jury, or otherwise as
"the Court shall think fit."

Here then we have the same instrument of delay
vexation and expence – the same instrument of oppression
put into the hands of a the mala fide suitor, Plaintiff or
Defendant, in the remotest part of Scotland, as in Edinburgh:
to be employed in a cause of the most trifling
importance, as in a cause of the highest importance:
with this difference that the application is not to be
made to the local Court in the spot, but to he Court
of Sessions only=

My Lord, why make so sure that the Court, between I would ask humbly beg leave to know are the whole people
it is an inferior Cour of Scotland out of Edinburgh to be thus punished, and most the many
severely punished the further removed from the multitude of
conveniences of which as such it has the monopoly?
